PER WENDELIUS AND ERIK MATTSSON, OF STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN.

SUPPORT FOR CORNICE OR CURTAIN HOLDERS,

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 12, 1905.

Application filed February 16, 1905. Serial No, 245,928.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PER WENDELIUS, residing at Skepparegatan 28, and ERIK MATTS- SON, residing at Appelbergsgatan 58, Stockholm, Sweden, subjects of the King of Sweden and Norway, have invented a new and useful Improved Support for Gornices or Curtain- Holders, (for which we have obtained a patent in Sweden, applied for on March 22, 1904:, and granted on November 3, 1904, No. 18,523,) of which the following is a specification.

The invention refers to supports for cornices or curtain-holders detachably mounted above windows and door-openings in dwelling-rooms, and has for its purpose to facilitate the adjusting of the cornice in all directions and to make such adjustment possible without removing the cornice from its supports.

According to this invention each of the two hooks which. support the cornice consists of a simple wire bent in right angle, or about so, at two different points and in diiferent'directions, so as 'to form, as it were, a crank, the middle part of which is horizontal, or nearly so, while the ends are vertical and directed the upper end upward and the lower end downward, all three parts lying in the same vertical plane. Each hook is held in proper position by one or two clamps or the like embracing or acting upon the lower vertical part and fastened on the window-case, door -frame, or other suitable, preferably wooden, surface situated near to the point where the cornice should be placed. The fastening is effected by screws, before the tightening of which the hook can be turned to the right and left and also shifted up and down; but by tightening the screws the hook is firmly held in the adjusted position. The upper vertical part is caused to enter a slot or other suitable guide or such like made in or provided on the cornice. Hitherto a screweye has been screwed into the cornice and passed on the hook. According to our invention this screw-eye is substituted by a U- shaped staplez'. a, the guide or bearing on the cornice for the upper vertical part of the hook is elongated in the longitudinal direction of the cornice, so that the cornice can be shifted to the right and left without turning the crankrshaped hook, the hook being turned only for adjusting the cornice against the wall, while the upward and downward adjustment is effected by shifting the hook up or down in the clamp or clamps.

In the annexed drawings, Figure 1 is a front View of the upper left corner of a window (or door-frame) with detachable cornice, the support of which is constructed according to this invention. Fig. 2 shows the same parts seen from above.v

an is the crank-shaped hook, with upper vertical part a engaging the elongated staple-shaped guide or hearing I) on the cornice.

not, and folded together so as to form a key or fork embracing the part a of the hook. Between the parallel arms or prongs of said clamp a space is left, so that the clamp can be compressed for firmly keeping the pivot a and thus the whole hook, in the adjusted position when tightening the screws d, passing through holes in both arms of the clamp.

It is obvious that one hook at, with staple b and clamp or clamps c, is provided at each end of the cornice, though only the one end is shown in the drawings.

Having now described our invention, what we claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1.. In combination with a clamp for attachment to a door or window casing, a stem engaged by the clamp, vertically and pivotally movable therein and having a crank at its upper end, and a cornice supported by the crank and having a slot in which the crank is adjustable longitudinally of the cornice, substantially as described.

2. In combination with a clamp for attachment to a door or window casing, a stem engaged by the clamp, vertically and pivotally movable therein and having a crank at its upper end, a cornice, and a guide and supporting element secured thereto, bearing on the arm of the crank and forming a longitudinal guide-slot for the reception of the crank-pin, and in which the crank-pin is adjustable longitudinally of the cornice.

In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands in presence of two subscribing witnesses.

PER WENDEIJIUS. ERIK MATTSSON.
